Disneyland Comes Alive While Coach Paul Macolly draws and explains the next play, players look on. While practicing fifth period for halftime festivities, the Art Club displays its work. Although the actual event of homecoming does not last but one day. weeks of planning and preparation must come first. Even after the day is over, many memories linger on. For example, there is the remem- brance of the Homecoming Court: Lisa Bennett. Lisa Bishop, Angie Brooks, Angela Dean. Kim Gosnell, Missy Haithcock. Rhonda Horton. Mi- chelle Hyatt. Janice Jackson, Robin Johnson, Sonya Jolley, and Kim Knight. Robin Lyles, Tammie Mason. Tracy McKen- zie. Deneen Nicholls, Sally Phil- lips. Barbara Rainer, Teri Roper. Angel Seymour, Holly Stafford, Kelly Turner, Jan Walls. Vanessa Watt, and Tam- my Wyatt also have memories of competing for the title. Another memory would be the big'' game and the dance afterwards with music provided by disc jockey Rick McAllister. Each class taking part in the dance by decorating the gym as part of Disneyland was a new addition to the homecoming festivities. The senior class created Frontierland, while the juniors imitated Fantasy- land. The sophomores portrayed “Tomorrowland. and the freshmen brought about Main Street. U S A. This was a farewell to the tradi- tional class participation in homecoming. In the past, the classes built floats for competi- tion and for the pre-game parade. Even though homecoming was not Fantasyland in real- ity, it will bring back proud memories for a long time. HOMECOMING 19

A Night Made For Two As the event neared, the sta- dium filled with many fans to get the last look at the homecoming court before the halftime cele- bration began. To get on the court a girl had to be sponsored by a senior football player or have a petition signed by sen- iors only. At the end of the vot- ing, every student had the privilege of voting for the new 1981 Homecoming Queen. To increase the excitement, the Cavaliers had a 28-0 lead over the Eastside Eagles at half- time. The tension grew as the band and Blue Belles per- formed. Afterwards, all contest- ants were introduced. Finally the announcement came — Vanessa Watt was named Maid- of-Honor. As the fans were seated on the edge of their bleachers. Angie Brooks was named the 1981 Homecoming Queen. To close a perfect evening, the varsity team delivered a devastating loss to Eastside, de- feating them 56-0. This, in itself, also added to the celebration because it broke a 1974 record of fifty-five points scored in one game. As the final minutes tick off the clock. Jeff Collier and Kendall Rycroft are satisfied with the score. Before the game. Disneyland characters aid the cheerleaders in arousing spirit.
